| Abstract | Prior research of the catalytic ignition of renewable transportation fuels was conducted with pure platinum (Pt), an oxidation catalyst with mechanical properties that change at the temperatures expected in internal combustion engines. This study was undertaken to compare and contrast the ability of grain-hardened 90% platinum - 10% rhodium (Pt-Rh) to serve as an ignition catalyst. The temperature required to initiate surface reactions and the rate of heat generated from the reactions of ethanol-oxygen-nitrogen mixtures on Pt-Rh and Pt were obtained using a microcalorimeter. Catalyst wires were exposed to reacting flows in a plug-flow reactor and heated though electrical resistance until surface reactions occurred. The process was repeated for fixed fuel molar percentages of ethanol ranging from 1% to 3% and fuel-oxygen equivalence ratios (Φ) ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 at a constant total volumetric flow rate of 5 L/min, thus testing the effect of both the absolute and relative fuel content. Because of its lower coefficient of thermal resistance, Pt-Rh initiated surface reactions in fuel-oxygen mixtures at temperatures about 45 K higher than pure Pt; 3% ethanol mixtures ignited at an average ignition temperature of 512 K on Pt-Rh with very little variation with Φ while those on Pt ignited at temperatures ranging from a low of 450 K (Φ = 0.5) to a high of 473 K (Φ = 1.0), suggesting fuel-first coverage of the surface for these conditions. Also at 3% ethanol, reactions on Pt-Rh generated heat at an average rate of 5.5 W/cm2 while those on pure Pt generated 19.6 W/cm2. Pt-Rh did not exhibit significant seasoning at the conditions tested whereas Pt seasoned over time and became more reactive (initiating surface reactions at lower temperatures than an unseasoned surface), a phenomenon observed in prior research. This data will aid in the design and understanding of catalytic igniters used with alternative transportation fuels in internal combustion engines. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
